Visited Black Dog Fen to see if the woodcocks were dancing.  Heard or saw at
least five different birds.  They started peenting about 8:10 and it was a
cloudless sunset.  If you go, the path through the fen is very muddy and the
last snow so flattened the marsh grass that the birds are not relying on
dancing on the path, as they have in past years; but you will hear and should
see birds.
